Three new species of Neocalceostomoides Kritsky, Mizelle & Bilqees, 1978 and Neocalceostoma elongatum Tripathi, 1957 were found on five species of Arius from Peninsular Malaysia. N. elongatum was collected from Arius sagor. A. venosus and A. maculatus, whereas Neocalceostomoides spinivaginalis n. sp., N. hamatum n. sp. and N. simplex n. sp. were obtained from A. thalassinus, A. sagor and A. caelatus, respectively. The three new species of Neocalceostomoides are similar to Neocalceostoma elongatum in the morphology of the soft anatomical parts and in having 14 marginal hooks, but differ in having the two anchors situated far apart without a connecting bar. The possibility that Neocalceostomoides and Neocalceostoma are synonymous is noted. The generic diagnosis of Neocalceostomoides is amended herein and a new family, the Neocalceostomatidae, is proposed to accommodate Neocalceostoma and Neocalceostomoides.
